Jan 12, 2025 Will the Saturn and Venus Conjunction Spark a Stock Market Rally as Trump Takes Office?

Last Week Stock Market Analysis (Jan 06, 2024 – Jan 10, 2025)

Last week, the stock market was affected by key economic indicators. The December jobs report exceeded expectations with 256,000 new jobs, boosting market sentiment. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, raising confidence but also inflation concerns. Wage growth was 3.9% year-over-year, slightly below forecasts, easing some inflation worries. The 20-year Treasury yields crossed 5%, causing market volatility. Strong sectors included energy minerals, health services, and transportation. Overall, the market saw volatility due to strong job and wage data, rising Treasury yields, and sector-specific performances. Last week started with a good rally but lost its stream as Mercury keeps creating bear trap.

Astrological Calculation for the Week Starting from Jan 12, 2024

• Mercury continues to gain strength in Dhanushu Rasi, which suggests that bullish energy will be delivered this week.
• This astrological alignment might influence investor sentiment positively, leading to potential gains in various sectors. I expect cryptocurrencies to rally and set a new all-time high (ATH) by mid-this week, driven by increased market optimism and favorable conditions.
• The conjunction of Venus and Saturn could significantly impact semiconductor stocks, with major players like SMCI, NVDA, AMD, and ARM expected to see substantial gains.
• While Meta may experience some decline, Tesla (TSLA) is anticipated to pick up momentum, fueled by investor confidence and market dynamics.
• With the Sun entering Makara Rasi, also known as "Makara Sankranti" or the Pongal Festival, we can expect the market to remain bullish for the next couple of weeks.
• This period is traditionally associated with prosperity and growth, which may reflect in market performance.
• Given these conditions, it is not advisable to short the market, as a new ATH is likely to be set in the coming weeks.
• However, it is important to note that a significant market crash is anticipated to begin somewhere between January 28, 2025, and February 4, 2025. Investors should be prepared for potential volatility and adjust their strategies accordingly.
